- Notre Dame adds speed with Class of 2005 recruits (By ANDREW SOUKUP Sports Writer)
After glancing over the 19 players who signed national letters of intent to play football for Notre Dame next year, one thing is clear.

- Fired up Panthers hang with Irish u Better effort needed from top-ranked team (Noah Amstadter Assistant Sports Editor)
For the third game in a row, the Irish were unable to build an early lead. The nation's No. 1 team allowed the 9-13 Panthers to remain in the game late into the second half. With 9:26 remaining, the ninth-place team in the Big East closed to within 47-41.
- Irish rank among top 15 in recruiting, not during season (The Great Debate continues. In the past few years, conversation on signing day has centered on why the Irish always rank among the top 15 schools in recruiting but then rarely crack the same ranking in the Associated Press and USA TODAY/ESPN polls. There are three basic schools of thought: either Notre Dame's coaches have struggled in maximizing their talent, the supposedly top talent is overrated or a combination of the aforementioned reasons.)
The Great Debate continues.

- You too can be a rock star (Amy Schill Dazed and Amuzed)
We all have different academic interests, but whether we study Arabic or Anthropology, English or Engineering, follow our intellectual calling or prostitute ourselves to the College of Business (you know who you are), when it comes right down to it, we all want to be rock stars. Well, maybe not rock stars, but music stars.

"I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin."

- Take a stand and sit in (Letter to the Editor )
We are writing to inform all interested persons that there will be a silent sit-in in Le Mans Hall beginning at noon this Friday, Feb. 9, to protest the censorship of the Vagina Monologues on Saint Mary's campus. We believe our silence will be a testament to the way in which certain students at Saint Mary's were and are being silenced.
- Academic freedom of students impaired (Letter to the Editor )
My disappointment with the response of Provost Nathan Hatch to the Faculty Senate's questions about the academic freedom of students has a very simple basis. Both the "Mission Statement of the University of Notre Dame," and Article III, section 2 of the Academic Articles of this University (see "Faculty Handbook," 2000-01) guarantee the academic freedom of the University's students.
- All the best to you, Conor (Letter to the Editor )
Conor, since the day we, your fellow students, friends and participants of the Washington, D.C. Spring Semester Studies Program, met you we knew you were full of promise, compassion, knowledge and strength, someone that everyone in the program wanted to know and share time with. We quickly found out that you were as optimistic, idealistic and passionate as your hero and idol Robert Kennedy. In fact, it was apparent very early in our relationship that just like Bobby preached, you did not see things as they are and say "why?" You dreamed things that never were and said "why not?"
- Observer endorses Becker/McCord (Observer Editorial Observer Editorial Board)
The most effective student body president and vice president should attack both broad issues of student life and address the everyday concerns of students on campus. The ticket of Ryan Becker and Nikki McCord combines these two aspects most effectively and should be elected as the 2001-2002 student body president and vice president.
